In addition to her husband, Sandy was preceded in death by a sister, Laureen Wygal, in November 1998.
A viewing is 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Nov. 12, at Girdner Funeral Chapel, followed by a 2:30 p.m. graveside service at Fort Jones Cemetery. Bishop Don Hill will officiate. Following the services, the family welcomes friends to stop by the Biegler residence.
